Full moon Group Meditation

Temple conducts Full Moon Group Meditation sessions on every full moon or Purnima. Purnima occurs when the Sun, Moon, and the Earth are aligned in a straight line or at an angle of 180 degrees. This direct and unimpeded alignment between the earth and the sun during moon cycles enables the spiritual seeker to manifest needed changes in consciousness that will awaken humanity to their divinity within.

During a full moon the sun and the moon are in opposition to each another. This creates a vortex of energy on the earth, which correlates to the cycles of the breath. It is an especially auspicious time to tune yourself inwardly through meditation to these energies beyond materialism and toward the cosmos.

Purnima marks the end of the Shukla Paksha, (paksha is a lunar fortnight) also known as brighter fortnight or waxing phase of the Moon. Also, the next day after Purnima marks the beginning of the Krishna Paksha, also known as darker fortnight or waning phase of the Moon.
